Former officials of American Legion Post 28 have been charged for taking part in a check-cashing scheme that stole $641,000 in slot-machine proceeds, officials say.
The vice commander of the American Legion Post 28, a former post commander, two former finance officers and a past adjutant face charges after police say they wrote checks for cash that was not used for American Legion business. A sixth man involved has since died.
What gets me about these guys, and the other old farts I see stealing lumber from construction sites, is that they are the first to blame everything on the no-good poors. Meanwhile, they act like their stealing isn’t a crime because society owes them something.

They probably put the money into the slot machines in the first place.
See? Entitlement mindset.
That’s a lot of Cash!!! No wonder Dover Downs and Harrington fight to make these locals not have machines..
Yep. Veterans-based organizations, like VFW and American Legion were granted that type of exclusivity b/c–vets!
They’d been doing it illegally for years. When someone realized it, they simply made it legal.
Puck — when they played, they thought they had a money-back guarantee.
